5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: NOT FLAMMABLE

FLASH POINT: N/A

FLAMMABILITY LIMITS IN AIR: NOT FLAMMABLE

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
USE EXTINGUISHING MEASURES THAT ARE APPROPRIATE TO LOCAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND
THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT

SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL:
NON-COMBUSTIBLE, SUBSTANCE ITSELF DOES NOT BURN BUT MAY DECOMPOSE UPON
HEATING TO PRODUCE CORROSIVE AND/OR TOXIC FUMES. THERMAL DECOMPOSITION CAN
LEAD TO RELEASE OF TOXIC AND CORROSIVE GASES/VAPORS.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIREFIGHTERS:
KEEP UPWIND AND AVOID BREATHING CORROSIVE VAPORS. THERMAL DECOMPOSITION
MAY RELEASE CORROSIVE HYDROGEN CHLORIDE. APPLY COOLING WATER IN FLOODING
AMOUNTS AND FROM AS FAR A DISTANCE AS POSSIBLE TO SIDES OF CONTAINERS THAT
ARE EXPOSED TO FLAMES UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT. WATER SHOULD NOT BE
USED DIRECTLY ON MATERIAL, BUT WATER SPRAY CAN BE USED TO ABSORB CORROSIVE
VAPORS. AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS
PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR EQUIVALENT) AND FULL PROTECTIVE
GEAR.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
ISOLATE SPILL AREA AND DENY ENTRY TO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS. WEAR PROPER
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (SEE SECTION 8) TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO THE SPILLED
MATERIAL. STOP THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK IF YOU CAN DO SO WITHOUT RISK.
ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

METHODS FOR CONTAINMENT:
DIKE TO COLLECT LARGE LIQUID SPILLS. COVER CONTAINERS AND REMOVE FROM AREA
FOR LATER DISPOSAL AS REGULATIONS PERMIT.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP:
FOR ALL SPILLS, NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH OR LIME. TAKE UP WITH SAND OR
OTHER ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND SHOVEL INTO CLEAN, DRY CONTAINERS. COVER
CONTAINERS AND REMOVE FROM AREA FOR LATER DISPOSAL AS REGULATIONS PERMIT.
CLEAN CONTAMINATED SURFACE THOROUGHLY.

STORAGE:
DO NOT STORE IN CARBON STEEL OR ALUMINUM CONTAINERS. STORE IN ORIGINAL
CONTAINER. STORE IN A COOL, DRY AREA AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
KEEP IN PROPERLY LABELED CONTAINERS. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED.

EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. GOGGLES RECOMMENDED FOR HANDLING BULK LIQUID AND
FOR CLEANING UP SPILLS. EYEWASH FACILITY IS RECOMMENDED FOR THE WORK AREA
OR CLOSE PROXIMITY.

SKIN AND BODY PROTECTION:
CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN DURING OCCUPATIONAL USE CONDITIONS
AND FOR CLEANING SPILLS TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING SHOULD
BE WORN DURING OCCUPATIONAL USE CONDITIONS TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT WITH
THIS PRODUCT.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
IF EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED OR IRRITATION IS EXPERIENCED, NIOSH/MSHA
APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SHOULD BE WORN. POSITIVE-PRESSURE
SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATORS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR HIGH AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT
CONCENTRATIONS. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION MUST BE PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CURRENT LOCAL REGULATIONS

HYGIENE MEASURES:
HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICE

CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
DO NOT MIX WITH CHLORINE BLEACH, AMMONIA, OR OTHER HOUSEHOLD CLEANSERS OR
CHEMICALS. DO NOT USE ON CHROME, COUNTERTOPS, BATHTUBS, WASHBOWLS, OR OTHER
ENAMEL SURFACES.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
THERMAL DECOMPOSITION CAN LEAD TO RELEASE OF TOXIC/CORROSIVE GASES AND
VAPORS. HYDROGEN CHLORIDE.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION DOES NOT OCCUR.
